It makes me so goddam depressed, I swear to God it does...

Wierd... I just finished re-reading "Catcher in the Rye" for insight into my alleged "suspended adolescense", and I finish it up with wild ideas as to how to express myself and all, and figuring I'd start a new band and call it "the Phonies" and then I flipped on the computer to find J.D. Salinger died. Big shoes to fill, novel to follow.

"Salinger was the greatest mind ever to stay in prep school." Norman Mailer
